  2. A NorthPark Business Center AUAR update shows DataBank Phases 1-3 on a 14.41-acre lot, with about 4.2 acres of impervious surface at first and 11.5 acres at full build. (City of Brooklyn Park, Feb. 2024)

  3. DataBank announced a 15,000 sq ft, 4.5 MW expansion of MSP3, due by Q2 2024. (DatacenterDynamics, Nov. 2, 2023)

  4. DCD reported MSP3 opened at about 86,000 sq ft with 1.5 MW of critical load, planned for 9 MW of IT load in three halls, on a campus with room for about 170,000 sq ft and up to 18 MW more. (DatacenterDynamics, Nov. 4, 2021)

  5. The City Council agenda carried a resolution on DataBank's site plan review for a data center at 8111 Oxbow Creek Drive North. (City of Brooklyn Park, Sept. 28, 2020)

Conflicts and open questions

  • Building size differs by source: about 97,000 sq ft in the 2020 Planning Commission minutes and 86,000 sq ft in DCD (2021).
  • The agenda numbers the site plan review #20-119 and the minutes #20-118.
  • Capacity is stated only in IT terms: 9 MW planned for MSP3 and up to 18 MW more on the campus (DCD). No utility-load MW is in a record.
  • No city filing for a second building after 2020 was found.
  • The 2023 DCD story gives the street as 8111 Oxbow Creek North.
